Mystery Monday: something's missing

By Mark Alden Branch ’86 | 8:31am July 31 2023

This fall, a landmark of the campus skyline will be open again, but with a name that is seven letters shorter. What word used to be between "Kline" and "Tower"?

    The word is "Biology"... As a senior I would sleep on the floor in Joel Rosenbaum's lab to babysit my experiments on cancer cells in tissue culture ... <> Quoting from the YDN.. "In 1966, the University dedicated the tower to C. Mahlon Kline, class of 1901, the building’s then-primary donor and an alumnus of the now-defunct Sheffield Scientific School at Yale."
